Lions RG Larry Warford (hip) is inactive for Week 6 against the Rams.

Warford picked up a hip injury in Wednesday's practice and did not see the field the rest of the week. He could miss a couple games. Graham Glasgow, who had to replace LG Laken Tomlinson last week, will get the start at right guard. It is a downgrade for the entire offense. Oct 16 - 11:43 AM

Lions RG Larry Warford's starting job will be "on a short leash" this season.

The 65th overall pick in the 2013 draft, Warford looked like a future All Pro his first two seasons before enduring an injury-riddled third campaign. Now entering his contract year, Warford has a lot at stake. He's 25 years old (in June) with dominant drive-blocking potential and will get paid handsomely if his season goes well. Journeyman Geoff Schwartz will push Warford in camp. May 25 - 9:04 PM

Lions RG Larry Warford suffered a concussion in the team's Thanksgiving win over the Eagles.

Detroit plays its next game next Thursday night against the Packers. When healthy this season, Warford has been a disappointment and a major part of the Lions' run-game woes. Rookie LG Laken Tomlinson has been even worse. Fri, Nov 27, 2015 01:22:00 PM

Lions RG Larry Warford (ankle) is probable for Week 6.

His return will shift Manny Ramirez back to left guard and rookie Laken Tomlinson back to the bench. With the offensive line getting healthy, Detroit has to find a way to get the running game working. Sat, Oct 17, 2015 10:07:00 AM

Riddick put in two limited practices this week, which has basically been the norm for him this year. His status for Week 14 has never been in doubt. Riddick will be a borderline RB2 at home against Chicago.

Ameer Abdullah (foot, injured reserve) was still sporting a walking boot before his visit with Dr. Robert Anderson last week.

The visit reportedly showed Abdullah's foot is "structurally sound," but the boot puts a bit of a damper on his expected return. The Lions still have not officially tabbed Abdullah as their return player, although it seems very likely with LB Jon Bostic dealing with complications in his own recovery from a foot issue. Abdullah is still a better injury bet than Adrian Peterson, but it is far from a sure thing he will return value this fantasy season.

Marvin Jones (quad) is listed as questionable for Week 14 against the Bears.

Jones took last week off, but he is due back against Chicago. Beat writers have been increasingly confident about his status. Jones is a fringe WR3, and probably best viewed as a WR4 considering his lack of production the past two months.
